This article provides results of studying the world achievements in modeling social systems in the aspects of personality, group, and social institute (e.g. the state and army). Through prism of conflict, we review research methodology for modeling social identity, social navigation, geopolitical processes, and command and control systems of the enemy. We discuss four agent-based models of social identity: SCIPR, MetaContrast, PS-I, and SILAS. We examine Spence model for modeling social navigation. Basic principles for modeling relations between the states are considered using ontology approach. The presented model allows systemic analysis of various micro- (intrastate) and macrolevel (external) variables and relations between them. Modeling command and control system of the enemy is implemented as a part of an automated decision support system that tackles the problems of enemy structure identification as well as classification of objects and relations within the structures. The object of study are approaches, methods and models for representation and analysis of group interaction. The subject of study are processes of agent self-identification and interaction, formal and informal organizations, the states and public institutes as well as processes and principles for group formation and mechanisms for behavior control. Research methodology: social network analysis, ontology approach, theory of graphs and hypergraphs, multiagent systems
